Switch, its what the MSM and the Liberals want you to do. Its Divide and Conquer. They want a one party system!!!! They know a 3rd party would weaken the Republicans even more, its a win win for them. They want only the 3 branches of Gov’t controlled by them. Think its bad now? WAIT!

“Ill most likely be dropping party affiliation and registering Independent sometime this month.” __________________________________________

I think most of us tried to be team players, even after the a$$ whooping we got on election night. Switching my party affiliation is the only political power I (we) have left. The GOPe chose to fear the Left instead of us. May they reap the consequences!

I hear what you’re saying, but are we to continue trying to be united around “leaders” who take the same positions as the Left? What’s the benefit?

I’ll stay pub because this is going to get even worse and it’s the players we have in the game. That said I’ll push for the most conservative of pubs. Being in both ok and ark that is covered for the most part.

I stopped voting GOP when they pushed Mitt n us. I was a bit touch and go before that, ut that was the last straw. I saw this type of thing coming after that. They will keep doing it. They purged Conservatives. And, sadly, we hold no sway over them because we ALWAYS fall in line.

“You’ve been one of the GOP supporters for a while. Making excuses for them.”

‘You own this. And yes, you are on the paper list of liberal republicans that I keep near the computer, so I can keep track of all you (redacteds).”

Like many here, I chose to deal with reality and voted for Romney. Unlike you, I saw him as a far better choice than the Marxist we had in office.

As far as owning this; this falls on the shoulders of knuckle heads like you who chose not to vote in the presidential election, or voted 3rd party. It’s because of folks like you, that we’re where we are now!

You are a selfrightous, unpatriotic phony! We’re facing this dilema because you didn’t see Obama as the real threat!

No more. I’ve had enough. The rot is fully set in the GOP. It has to be destroyed in order to rebuild it. This is just like 1930 again when the GOP had just lost the House and started its slide into the political wilderness, and then had to suffer through the FDR debacle.

Yes. I plan to switch, as well and am talking to my better half about their doing it, too.

BUT...don’t do it without alerting your brain-dead congresscritters as to WHY you are doing it. THEY need to realize the consequences of THEIR actions as it pertains to those of us they erroneously say they are “representing”.

Personally, I say we document addresses of those who pretend to represent us, those whose salaries we pay, so we can easily contact them with our complaints in black and white.

I agree! I think this is key. They need to understand that their idiotic actions have consequences.

I will wait and see how the Debt Ceiling increase fight pans out. If the GOP manages to cave on that one too, I will vote with my pocketbook—no more contributions to any GOP orgs or candidates. Money talks!!

My husband and I had the honor of visiting the Ronald Reagan Library over Christmas. There will NEVER be his like again. The GOP began to die the day he did. Our visit was sad when it should have been joyous.

Damn the socialists in this country. For the love of power they have destroyed us all.

I switched from a Republican to an Independent the first term of Bush Jr. This was due to the Bush's handling of the Hainan Island incident and his refusal to even consider doing anything about the invasion from the Illegal Aliens (refuse to call them undocumented workers) crossing the border from mexico.

Any 'nation' that can elect a maggot like that unspeakable negro ONE time is circling the drain, but to elect the pøs AGAIN is surely the sign of the onset of rigor mortis.

I'll defend my little acre and loved ones as best as my meager resources and mortal existence allow, and then step into eternity with utter contempt for the filth who've destroyed our once-blessed Republic.

(and more than a couple questions for the 'god' who engineered such a massive clusterphuk)

I switched my registration to Independent when Romney became the nominee, and I announced it publicly on FR. Still voted for the worthless bugger, but the GOP and I are no longer on friendly, i.e. fund-raising, terms.

I'm reserving judgment on today's vote until I hear from my representative, who knows more about the dirtywork behind it than I do. But I have to say it looks an awful lot like the Republicans simply didn't practice good practical politics, which means getting something in return for a compromise, and no, I don't regard class warfare of any kind as an acceptable compromise. If they can't stand up to the Democrat/media machine then we're going to have to find somebody who can.

I thoroughly respect all the folks here who are dropping out of the R party.
I would respectfully submit that it could be wiser to stay in and try to fix it from inside. If only because third parties have worked only a couple times in over 200 years of American history....
Again, I do understand and would not presume to lecture anybody or claim I’m right about this.
Just a thought...
Happy New Year (!)

IMHO, the best chance is to take the republican party back to its' principles of limited, constitutional government. Join your county Republican committee, use the ideas below.

I have been a member of my county committee years ago when I had time, and plan to get on it again in a couple of years when I retire.

There are two very important weapons for this war. The left has been very adept at using them. Their use doesn't seem to be taught in schools or much of anywhere else, in fact most people aren't even aware of there existence.

Robert's Rules of Order and Mason's Rules.

Parliamentary procedure.

Mason's has nothing to do with the Masonic organization, it just happens to be the name of the author.

There may be other rule sets, but these are the ones I've used.

You can click below for info on Mason's rules. These are the rules most legislatures use. It is customized for each one.

Roberts Rules can be found in paperback on Amazon or your local book store.

To start fighting the war, join your county Republican Committee.

Find out which set of rules it is run by.

Either find another like thinking small government, constitutional government thinker there, or recruit one.

With the proper use of parliamentary procedure, you can take over an amazing amount with just two people.

For instance, you word an amendment to sound good. You propose the amendment, you friend seconds it. You or he moves to move the amendment, the other seconds it. Done quickly you can get things voted on before your opposition even knows what happened.

So far I think the best way to get things done is dragging the Republican party back to the constitution and small government, then chip away at the mess the rats and rinos have created.

As long as Tea Party members and Freepers are sitting on the sidelines, not getting into the grass roots and getting on their county committees, and then next onto the state committes, we might as well just resign ourselves to life under communism.
